River in The Desert by Paul William Roberts
Egypt is as old as history itself. It is home to some of the world's greatest treasures, a pantheon of dazzling gods and kings, and the roots of the civilised world. This book is the author's account of his travels through Egypt, delving into the hidden depths of this great country - at once familiar and yet unknown.
'Unconventional, highly entertaining, instructive and beautifully written, River in the Desert is an elegant, seductive account of this ancient culture's history, mythology and politics' -- Publishers Weekly 'passionate, angry, and often very funny... the work of a writer in love with his subject' -- Oriana Fallaci
